Mike Pouncey makes ProFootball Weekly's midseason All-NFL team

[BAMAPHIN 22]

Miami Dolphins center Mike Pouncey is beginning to gain recognition for his play this season.

Pouncey has spent most of this year rated as ProFootballFocus.com’s top center and on Tuesday he was named to the Pro Football Weekly’s Midseason All-Pro Team, recognized as the NFL’s best center after eight games.

Here is what the publicatino wrote about Pouncey: "Though his twin brother, Maurkice, earned All-Pro recognition from PFW in 2011, Mike has been the better performer this season in just his second year in the league. The Dolphins’ run game has been up and down, but Pouncey deserves credit for rookie QB Ryan Tannehill’s smooth transition to the NFL game. Meanwhile, Pouncey’s own growth has been steady since Day One."

Pouncey was the only Dolphins player to be recognized by Pro Football Weekly, which is one of the NFL’s top publications.

Cameron Wake, whose 8.5 sacks makes him one of the NFL’s premiere pass rushers, didn’t make the list because of Houston’s J.J. Watts and Chicago’s Julius Peppers.

i love this kids attitude and the way he stands up for his guys.he can also be seen helping guys up after a long run or a big hit.
he reminds me of COG but with a ton of more talent and younger.he will be a pro bowl type player on this team if he continues to even play the way he is now.if he gets better this kid will make it to the hall.

Why don't more players get it? Mike Pouncey has done it the right way...through hard work.

Jerry Rice and Walter Payton simply outworked everyone else. Reggie Bush has done that since being a Dolphin. I remember the year Carey was outstanding he worked his butt off during the off season. When he fell apart is when they moved him to right tackle and had him put on an additional 30-40 pounds...his play significantly dropped and his knees didn't last long.

Pouncey's ability to pull and block in the open field have already made him the best center in the NFL.

Congrats Pouncey!!! Keep up the hard work.
